Synopsis

Few people really give much thought to their automobile insurance. You pay your premiums every month without fail, and when you have an accident or a problem with your car, you flip through the pages of your insurance policy and call the number. You hope for the best, but often the process isn’t as simple as you would like it to be. After all, how many people read all the details of their insurance policy? But that’s also part of the problem; the details. Insurance companies are big businesses that are out to make as much profit as they can. Most assume that their clients do not have a thorough understanding of the many aspects of their policies. You may be surprised by what is and isn’t covered when you need to file a claim. For example, most people believe they are covered if a deer runs into the side of their car, but in many insurance policies, this is not the case. Car insurance policies contain pages and pages of fine print that most people would not understand even if they did read it. It’s difficult to expect someone to have a thorough understanding of all that fine print, particularly when they are bombarded with so much information in their daily lives.
